Best of luck to John Hegarty and the Wexford Footballers in their quest for promotion this year! Hopefully the new rules might suit our style of play, although we aren't blessed with long range shooters it has to be said. Our 45 conversion rate when Brooks was out was poor. Any word on how some of the new lads have got on in challenge games?

Coleman seems to be out according to reports, Brooks might not be no1 either, new rules should suit scored well last year and other teams having less bodies back will hopefully create even more space,

Coleman is injured. He will be a loss. Looking forward to Saturday night now. Hope a good crowd stays on after the hurling.

Coleman only guaranteed starter to come on to the team, cian hughes when he fit maybe
Best of luck to the footballers, promotion is a very realistic target and a day out in croker be super for them

Conor Kinsella? Dylan Cooke Leonard looks a good prospect too.

I a way we couldn't have asked for a better first game but unfortunately I think the two toughest games, Limerick and Longford are both away, that said as we have discovered nothing ever goes to plan in Div4

Great win for the lads. Unlike the hurlers handling and other basics were excellent. Hard to know whether we were really as good as the scoreline suggested or were London just really poor. We have the strongest panel we have had in years. Thought the 2 Hughes, Byrne and Sean Nolan were particularly impressive, although in all honesty everyone played very well. And we had a string of players to bring on who didnt weaken the team also.
Tough game next up, we will know better where we are at after that.

A decent performance against a poor London team, but great to put up a big score, although it could have been a lot more but for poor goalkeeping.

Very impressive win, kicked some great scores and some great long rage 2 pointers, next sunday is a massive game like them all but away to Limerick a win will put us 3 points clear of them which would be super. all players played very well including subs, good strong squad there now

Early days but in a division where very little has separated teams we couldn't have asked for a better start.

they going all out for it this year, martin o connor flying home for training and games, thats some effort, strongest panel now for maybe 12 years 3.5/1 to win div 4 before last weekend, maybe luck will smile on us this league, was very impressed with pettit at center forward, played a very good link roll , the fact noone pulled out of the squad over the winter says a lot about the spirit of the team, limerick have some good players but im hopeful

Great start for Wexford. The new rules suit Hegarty's style of play really well. Good to see Feeney in goal, his outfield ability could become very useful. Strong panel. Very optimistic for the league. Only Wicklow in this division apart from ourselves have any real hope of promotion. Waterford, London, Tipperary and Carlow are very poor, and Longford and Limerick are not on an upward curve. Promotion should be ours unless there's some major malfunction.

No so sure about Feeney in goal. unfortunately he was at fault for 0ne if not both goals. he would need to make a hell of an outfield contribution to offset that sort of return. Call me old school but a keeper has to do the basics first. Not going to damn him on one performance and I'm not sure if there is a return available from an outfield keeper. it's a tactical question for management I'm guessing?

I hope your expectations/ predictions are right, but I'm not convinced about the goalkeeper. In tighter game last Saturday, it could have been costly. Hopefully he'll learn from it, his outfield contribution could yet be vital. And it's great to have Brooks back, he too can get involved out the field and he's a very good long-range kicker.

Pettit was excellent for Fintans last year also. Coleman, Scholesey and Higgins hopefully back soon. Fair play to O'Connor. Good player.
